The
Cosmic Mandala is encompassed by flaming circle. At the Centre is a three-footed
spiral symbolizing a first movement, surrounded by rotating wind which
condenses into so-called basic elements, representing the states of aggregation:
Wind or Air stands for the gaseous state; Fire is usually depicted
as a red triangle and stands for transformation; Water for liquid, represented
by a half-circle or circle; Earth for solid matter, symbolized a yellow
square or cube. The emerging forms of the elements are painted in the
blue ring surrounding the Centre, in the lower sphere intimating the world-continents
to be.

The blue Ether represents
the all pervading condition, the source of all elements filling the
space of the Mandala. On it circles are drawn; looking like ellipses
in their dynamic intersection, they portray the orbits of celestial
bodies, painted in all the colours of the rainbow plus black and white
and indicating the directions. These twelve astrological circles of
the upper sphere demonstrate the movements of sun, moon and stars in
the seasons.
